Ralph Lauren, Charlie Rocket, Janie & Jack and Cotton Caboodle, while new

lines from Tea, Luna Luna and Sara's Prints round out the mix. "We have

200 brands right now," says Crawford, whose retail background helped her

branch out on her own. Even in a down economy, resale is up, she says.

"Customers are so excited about how great our clothes are," Crawford

says. "They don't have to weed through anything to get to the good stuff."

Consignment by appointment only; clothing goes from newborn to size

seven. (248) 792-9347; restylechild.com .
